Timing begins once movement with music begins and ends when the last dancer cannot be seen. (ex: Routines that start onstage will not begin until the music starts.) There is a $100 fine for all routines that are 6 seconds or more over the time limit – spot checks will be made. Teachers have until the end of that adjudication day to pay the fines. Any outstanding fines will result in disqualification of that routine.
